AO PRINCIPLES
In 1958, the AO formulated four basic principles, which have become the guidelines for internal fixation1, 2.

Anatomic reductionFracture reduction and fixation to restore anatomical relationships.
Early, active mobilizationEarly and safe mobilization and rehabilitation of the injured part and the patient as a whole.
Stable fixationFracture fixation providing abso-lute or relative stability, as required by the patient, the injury, and the personality of the fracture.
Preservation of blood supplyPreservation of the blood supply to soft tissues and bone by gentle reduction techniques and careful handling.

Scaphoid
1. Insert guide wire into the scaphoid
Instruments
292.619 0.8 mm Guide Wire
312.144 Double Drill Guide 1.9/0.8 for screws or in TAN312.145 Double Drill Guide 1.7/0.8 for screws in steel
Insert the guide wire through the drill guide to the appro pri ate depth, using image intensification. Remove the drill guide and check the position of the guide wire and reduction.
Note: Insertion of the guide wire may be facilitated using a pen-style drive unit rather than a pistol-grip drive unit. Insert the guide wire in 10 to 15 mm in-crements to prevent wire bending.
2. Predrill for the screw (optional)
Instruments
310.214 Drill Bit B1.9 mm, cannulated, or length 100 mm, for screws in TAN

312.144 Double Drill Guide 1.9/0.8 for screwsor in TAN312.145 Double Drill Guide 1.7/0.8 for screws in steel
Predrilling in the near cortex is recommended in dense cortical bone, as the axial force necessary for inserting self-drilling screws could temporarily distract the frag-ments at the fracture site. In some cases, especially in cancellous bone, the self-drilling flutes of the 2.4 mm Cannulated Screw make predrilling unnecessary. Use the cannulated drill bit with the double drill guide to drill the near cortex only. Use image intensification if necessary.

3. Measure
Instrument
319.703 Measuring Device
Slide the tapered end of the measuring device over the guide wire and down to the bone.
The reading on the measuring device indicates the ap-propriate screw length to place the screw tip at the end of the guide wire. Subtract appropriately for any antici-pated fracture reduction or interfragmentary compres-sion resulting from screw insertion.
4. Insert screw
Instruments
314.466 Self-retaining Cannulated Stardrive T8 Screwdriver Shaft
311.430 Handle
Use the cannulated screwdriver shaft with the handle to insert the screw. After the screw is seated, remove and discard the guide wire.
Notes:• Avoid removal and reinsertion of the screw in the
same hole. The self-drilling feature of the screw can damage bone threads during reinsertion.
• Inserting the screw under power is not recom-mended.

Insert the guide wire through the drill guide to the ap-propriate depth. Remove the drill guide and check the position of the guide wire and reduction using image intensification.
Note: Insertion of the guide wire may be eased using a pen-style drive unit rather than a pistol-grip drive unit. Insert the guide wire in 10 to 15 mm incre-ments to prevent wire bending.

3. Countersink
Instruments
310.803 Cannulated Countersink
311.430 Handle
In areas where soft tissue coverage is minimal or in thick cortical bone, use the cannulated countersink with the handle to create a recess for the screw head.
Countersinking also facilitates screw insertion if predrill-ing is not performed.
2. Predrill for the screw (optional)

Predrilling in the near cortex is recommended in dense cortical bone, as the axial force necessary for inserting self-drilling screws could temporarily distract the frag-ments at the fracture site. If the screw is intended to pass through the opposite cortex as well, predilling is necessary. In some cases, especially in cancellous bone, the self-drilling flutes of the 2.4 mm Cannulated Screw make predrilling unnecessary. Use image intensification if necessary.

Use the cannulated screwdriver shaft with the handle to insert the screw. After the screw is seated, remove and discard the guide wire.
Notes:• A second screw or a Kirschner wire may be in-
serted to provide rotational stability.• Avoid removal and reinsertion of the screw in the
same hole. The self-drilling feature of the screw can damage bone threads during reinsertion.
• Inserting the screws under power is not recom-mended.

Small Joint Arthrodesis
1. Prepare bone surfaces
Prepare bone surfaces for the arthrodesis by removing the cartilage and subchondral bone as necessary.
2. Insert guide wire into the bone
Instruments
292.619 0.8 mm Guide Wire
312.144 Double Drill Guide 1.9/0.8 for screwsor in TAN312.145 Double Drill Guide 1.7/0.8 for screws in steel
Insert the guide wire through the drill guide under image intensifi cation.
Make sure that the guide wire is positioned centrally within the medullary canal and that the screw will not damage the PIP joint. The best screw purchase is achieved if the threads pass across the narrow zone in the middle of the phalanx.
Remove the drill guide.
Note: Insertion of the guide wire may be eased using a pen-style drive unit rather than a pistol-grip drive unit. Insert the guide wire in 10 to 15 mm incre-ments to prevent wire bending.

Cleaning and Screw Removal
Cleaning cannulation
Instrument
319.293 0.8 mm Cleaning Stylet
Cleaning the instrument cannulations is imperative for proper function and component life.
Instruments should be cleared intraoperatively with the cleaning stylet to prevent accumulation of debris in the cannulations and potential binding of the instruments on the guide wire.
Screw removalThe cannulated Stardrive screwdriver shaft is significantly stronger than the screw, so a solid driver may not be necessary. Insertion of a wire into the screw cannulation can assist in determining the screw axis to aid in proper screwdriver alignment.

MRI Information
Torque, Displacement and Image Artifacts according to ASTM F 2213-06, ASTM F 2052-14 and ASTM F2119-07Non-clinical testing of worst case scenario in a 3 T MRI system did not reveal any relevant torque or displace-ment of the construct for an experimentally measured local spatial gradient of the magnetic field of 3.69 T/m. The largest image artifact extended approximately 169 mm from the construct when scanned using the Gradient Echo (GE). Testing was conducted on a 3 T MRI system.
Radio-Frequency-(RF-)induced heating according to ASTM F2182-11aNon-clinical electromagnetic and thermal testing of worst case scenario lead to peak temperature rise of 9.5 °C with an average temperature rise of 6.6 °C (1.5 T) and a peak temperature rise of 5.9 °C (3 T) under MRI Conditions using RF Coils (whole body averaged specific absorption rate [SAR] of 2 W/kg for 6 minutes [1.5 T] and for 15 minutes [3 T]).
Precautions: The above mentioned test relies on non-clinical testing. The actual temperature rise in the patient will depend on a variety of factors be-yond the SAR and time of RF application. Thus, it is recommended to pay particular attention to the fol-lowing points: • It is recommended to thoroughly monitor patients
undergoing MR scanning for perceived tempera-ture and/or pain sensations.
• Patients with impaired thermoregulation or tem-perature sensation should be excluded from MR scanning procedures.
• Generally, it is recommended to use a MR system with low field strength in the presence of conduc-tive implants. The employed specific absorption rate (SAR) should be reduced as far as possible.
• Using the ventilation system may further contrib-ute to reduce temperature increase in the body.
